IAT's on KAT's

[ultimatuc]

Do you guys run your iat's in your plumbing? or just let the dangle?

[TrunkMonkey]

i may be having a brain fart or something, but what is an IAT?

Its nice to have one on teh hotpipe and before the TB for comparison sake...however the TB one is prolly most important as thats pretty close to what the motor will be ingesting.

I beleive by IAT you mean intake air temp sensor...

[ultimatuc]

yup. Inatake Air Temp

[DriFt3r]

i just tuck mine away..........

[TrunkMonkey]

yup. Inatake Air Temp

doh! :doh

I just shove it in the air filter.

I forget, is this only an S14 or Cali thing? I dont remember seeing such anywhere in my intake tract on my S13...

I plumb mine into the itake, to easy to drill a hole and seal it up.

It doesnt make sense to me to run the IAT before the turbo and intercooler, because the air temp will be changed dramatically. However, from the factory, the IAT is installed before the MAF. so I dont know what efects there will be having it after the maf.

any more input is appreciated. thanks

[ultimatuc]

The IAT is a thermistor, which changes its resistance, w/ change of temperature. so I'm starting to ponder, running a fixed resistor in place of it for tuning reasons. I need to know, how warmer or cooler air affects injector pulses. ( I'll ask my instructor mon. ) ( UTI )

any input on this?

[WDRacing]

I suppose plumbing itafter the IC would give the ECU a better temp to work with. I hadn't thought to much on this until now. I'll probably be moving mine as well.

No, you want the IAT to get cooler charge air readings.

If you have any GM, then you should know all about the IAT "free mod". On most modern GM vehicles, the IAT is placed in the intake manifold, but for a "free mod", people run them where cooler air is drawn in, like the intake tract. This is on a system that relies on the MAP sensor though.I don't know for sure how it responds in a MAF system.

mine is just dangling

Nope we ain't got it. I'm sure all S14s have it (or at least ODBIIs), not sure if the Cali S13s do.

hmm...I wonder if my 95 is OBD-II?? I've never really pondered the thought..maybe I should check it out.

[ultimatuc]

^ your 95 is obd2.

[Structure240sx]

my 95 is obd. it was produced techniqually in 94 tho. i have my right before the maf maybe i will move mine also

[red240ne]

^ your 95 is obd2.

why do you say that?

curt

[WDRacing]

Cause 95% of all 95's are OBDII...

[DriFt3r]

how can you tell if you have obd11 or just obd1
